Lol. Costco pays all of its employees a living wage? I have agreed that Walmart is greedy and exploits those with no marketable job skills. I don't shop at WalMart. Couldn't care less about Walmart and their clientele. The premise of the thread is that all business should be required to pay a living wage to unskilled minimum wage earners for the pursuit of utopia. Lead by example. Open a business and put your financial future on the line while paying minimum wage types a living wage plus your idea of acceptable benifits. Or STFU.
